After what felt like years of waiting, hoping, and considering, earlier this year, Lego has finally confirmed that it will boldly move forward with Star Trek Set what has become the centerpiece of the annual Thanksgiving celebrations. Can it live up to the hype?
Fortunately, the answer is yes. THE FIRST FORAY OF THE FIRST Star Trekthe Business-D from The next generationis a charming tribute to the popular series while also being the most powerful building experience for diehard lego fans, full of fun tricks to save Star TrekThe design of the popular animated stars in the world of Lego. Io9 recently received a review copy of the Business It’s from Lego, so we’re here to take you inside and see what makes it so great – and why we hope it means it’s a classic for many.
How long does it take to build a LEGO Star Trek Enterprise-D set?
Rounding out 3,600 pieces, LEGO Business-D is a beautiful model, resulting in the image of a Galaxy-Class starship and a solid mirror to be a plane in the Aft between 23,5 “from 10” While it is a great entertainment, the construction is broken into three different parts: the second hull and BusinessNacelles, independent of themselves, then half of the 30 bags in a set dedicated to a large saucer.
Given the type of BusinessD’s design, when you go, there are many similar techniques that are repeated over and over again, so if you are a general builder, you can go quickly and again and again and again and again to speed up the steps to speed up the process. Well, but, if you take things for fun, it can be done in 9-10 hours … or around 12 episodes of Deep space nineif you’re like me and like to put something in his season (sorry Thank you Fans, but recently I restarted the rewatch and decided to continue with that instead of the right little noise!).
How many LEGO minifigures are there? Star Trek Enterprise-D set?
Even if the focus of the set is the replica ship instead of the playset area, it would be a crime if LEGO started He flows The setup didn’t go all out for the minifigures. Fortunately, Business-D comes with nine minifigures to bring back to the bridge. Assembling them around the set is an unlikely choice but a little for Guinan, Hostess of the Business Ten rests ahead, but he, like Wesley, breaks the sea of StarFleet uniforms with some interesting and unique items to recreate his fashion wardrobe.
Each minifundigure comes with an add-on, some different than others, even if they are good. Wesley gets a very unique addition in the form of a mini replica of a portable tractor tractor generator from “naked now,” as does Riker and his beloved trombone. Picard naturally comes with a teacup, Guinan has a green bottle of something from the top ten (it’s never clearly mentioned that the Aldebaran Whiskey Fathat gives Scotty in “Data” gets a cat, and Geordi comes with an engineer’s kit. Perhaps less interesting than the more common sense Star Trek: Worf gets a handheld roof, cleverly constructed with a wedge piece and a handle, at least, while Deanna and feverly get a medical pad and trecorder … both of which just print 1×2 tiles. Which is fine And maybe the best Lego can do in minifigure scale, but it’s just kind of boring.
What’s great is that, in an unusual walk, Business-D comes with a unique stim for lining up minifigures, complete with a thin line The Next Generation Title Card (albeit as a sticker, rather than a printed piece). A good find in the fact that the construction is more realistic about the display model than the minifigures themselves, but it was still nice that Lego built something organized to show them, instead of just leaving them as is.
It’s LEGO’s Star Trek Enterprise-D set hard to build?
Building a lego model out of a ship like Business-D is a dangerous job, given its unique distribution and distribution of weight, on top of the fact that, well, it is most are gray. But LEGO puts a lot of interesting techniques throughout the build not only by capturing the curvature and shaping of the Galaxy-Class but also by keeping your materials busy so that the same long pieces can be used to build the same pieces with the same colors.
There are definitely a few places where LEGO builders can start to speed up the process: The construction of the second Hull of Business It is divided into two halves, for example, before creating two nacelles that resemble a building. Once you’ve built the bones of the big saucer, you basically duplicate the smaller sections of the hull plate to sandwich it on top of it. While the iterations can be a little, well, repetitive, there are enough methods for experienced builders and enough extensions. He flows Fans can start building YOUR LEGO at the very beginning.
More than that, though Business-D is a display set rather than a playset, the Design team continues to sneak in a few fun features and Easter eggs. The high-class Saucer, for example, is protected by a small floating row that enters the cockpit in the Aft Shuttle Bay – which can be removed to separate the unique Galaxy-Class feature. And although you do not accept to build its bridge Icocic, in the middle of the saucer holding a little BusinessDedication Plaque! Or as a record holder in D Being far from my favorite Business Design, I couldn’t help but be attractive in a way that I should be able to faithfully bring to life.
How much are LEGOs Star Trek Enterprise-D set? Is it worth the price?
Alas, this will be a very sticking point Star Trek Followers. For $400, the Business– You may no longer be able to see it like some of the latest LEGO prices Star Trek. You definitely get something that feels right for the price in terms of size and scope, but it’s hard to wonder if LEGO should start on a smaller scale or with different ideas for these Star Trek it can be just like the LEGO series as star Wars it has, if the other way would be more expensive.
We don’t know what the future holds for Lego Star Trek you hold there Business-D-This could be the start of a yearly release program similar to the LEGO method The Lord of the Ringsa line that only lives in the upper echelons that focus on adults, which ends up being higher (and higher costs). It cannot be denied that as an architectural sensation and a replica of one of the series’ most famous stars, Business-D is Star Trek It’s also a LEGO fan’s dream: It looks good, it’s fun, it builds great, and there’s a nice collection of minifigures that feels perfect in a way, if that’s all, at least you get everything you can get.
But that much is equally undeniable Star Trek Fans and many fans of LEGO will be put down by LEGO’s decision to go as big as it does here to justify asking such a high price, in an age when the company’s products feel like they are only getting pricier and pricier. There is so much value in the Business-D compared to other 2025 sets are big tickets, sure, but $400 is still $400.
If there was some kind of indication from LEGO that this wasn’t going to happen and that there would be more, smaller sets, it would be an easy pill to swallow, you know He flows Fans can wait and see what else the company does if they don’t want to drop this much money in one go. Even in a set as large as it is, it’s a tough bargain for anyone but a few diehards Star Trek Fans without some Ferengi level specification in your wallet.
